Going deeper questions (Life Group)

How did Prophets represent God’s presence all the time, not just in moments of crisis (ER Visits)?

Talk through each of the 7 attributes of Jesus in Vv.2-4. How has this brought / bringing you comfort and strength?

Have you ever had someone not be there for you? Not be the person they should be in your life with their actions / words? How has this hurt you?

Have you transitioned those experiences on God- where are / were you God? How do verses 5-14 comfort you?

What has stopped you from throwing in the towel before? Are you a part of helping others hold on and keep going? Take time to love on each other with words of encouragement, transparency and prayer.

God’s Kingdom is Coming; Heaven is HERE! (v.13)

Heaven is the balance of all things in Him. Our YES to Him in Bible reading, prayer and life / service brings Heaven into our lives and overflows into others.

There is Spiritual Warfare behind the physical reality we see and live in; battle for and on behalf of us. Do not loose heart; do not deny Jesus! There is no compromise- AT ALL COST, DO NOT THROW IN THAT TOWEL! (v.14)
